Has anyone tried transferring their case to an embassy in another country? According to the US department of state website they are allowing you to try to transfer to another embassy even in another country in order to clear up backlogs in some countries. Of course the tricky part is being able to establish some sort of residency in that new country in order to transfer the case. I have thought about signing up my spouse (I am a USA citizen) for a study visa in some country with a lower interview wait time. For example Turkey allows a resident permit visa for people who sign up to learn Turkish language, although even for Turkey it appears to be a 6-7 month wait for an interview.
